It's not exact, but it think that it is close enough for one to apply the principles to your situation.

Basically, it tells us that the thrower cannot switch. We also know that no teammate of the thrower may be out-of-bounds during a designated-spot throw-in.

That case play tells us that if two players step OOB simultaneously in an attempt to make a throw-in that one of them must immediately return inbounds and that they can't hand the ball from one to the other.

In your case, the first player who stepped OOB would either be the thrower or would have committed a throw-in violation for being OOB during a designated-spot throw-in once it became clear that he was not the thrower. If the first player is considered to be the thrower, then the second player to step OOB commits the violation. Either way, it's a violation when that second player steps OOB following the first one.
